Ghana’s Anti-LGBTQ+ Bill has been uploaded here for you to download and read to inform yourself about the details of the bill.
The debate on the bill is getting heated up and the Christian Community in Ghana led by the clergy has warned politicians that if they make the mistake to vote against the successful passing of the Anti-LGBTQ+ Law, Ghanaians will vote the NPP government out of power in the 2024 general elections.
Here are some examples of punitive measures in place in some countries:
- Imprisonment: In countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Qatar, being gay is illegal and punishable by imprisonment. In some cases, the punishment for homosexuality can be as severe as life imprisonment or even death.
- Violence: In many countries, including Russia, Uganda, and Nigeria, violence against LGBTQ+ individuals is prevalent and often goes unpunished. This can include physical assault, rape, and even murder.
- Discrimination: In many countries, LGBTQ+ individuals face discrimination in housing, employment, and other areas of life. For example, in some parts of the United States, it is still legal for employers to discriminate against LGBTQ+ individuals.
- Bans on Pride Events: In some countries, LGBTQ+ individuals are not allowed to hold Pride events or other public demonstrations. In Russia, for example, the government has banned Pride events in Moscow for several years.
- Conversion Therapy: Some countries still allow and even promote so-called “conversion therapy,” which is the harmful and discredited practice of attempting to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity.
These are just a few examples of the punitive measures that LGBTQ+ individuals may face in certain countries around the world.
